I was wearing my Turtle 2 during a track-day and during the last session of the day my rear tyre gave out on a medium speed corner resulting in a low-side.
I remember thinking ‘what’s that noise?’ as my bike scrapped along the floor as it completely took me by surprise.
Once I came to a rest on the grass, I was on my back and tried to sit up, but couldn’t as the vest had deployed and was keeping my head and neck in a safe position. I had to roll onto my chest (much like a Turtle on it’s shell!) to pick myself up. I stood up and was surprised to have no injuries at all, I thought that this was due to adrenaline, but even afterwards I was still fine.
I have no doubt the vest prevented not only serious injury, but any injury altogether. I was out on the bike the very next day.
The vest was worth every penny and I’ll wear one for many years to come.
